A
doctor for the L.A. County Coroner's Office just testified ... even if
Michael Jackson injected himself with the fatal dose of Propofol, Dr.
Murray is still guilty of homicide.

Dr. Christopher Rogers
testified he believes Dr. Murray had no business administering Propofol
outside a hospital setting, particularly without the appropriate medical
equipment. Rogers said given Michael's dependence on Propofol and the
fact that Murray left him alone in the room with access to the drug
constitutes a homicide.Coroner Doesn't Believe Dr. Murray's StoryUpdated 1/11/11 at 10:26am

A
doctor for the L.A. County Coroner's Office testified he doesn't
believe Dr. Murray only gave Michael Jackson 25mg of Propofol.

Without saying Murray lied to cops during his interview two days after MJ died, Dr. Christopher Rogers testified if Murray were correct about the 25mg of Propofol, Jackson would have awakened after 3 to 5 minutes of sleep.

Rogers
also testified he doesn't believe Jackson swallowed Propofol. The
defense laid the groundwork for this theory yesterday, because small
amounts of the drug were found in Jackson's stomach.

And Rogers said he believes it's inappropriate to use Propofol for insomnia and that Murray's care was "substandard."Murray to Cops: Michael Begged Me For PropofolUpdated 1/10/11 at 4:55pm

In some of the most dramatic testimony to date, an LAPD detective testified Dr. Conrad Murray told him Michael Jackson "begged" him for Propofol shortly before he died.

LAPD Robbery Homicide Detective Orlando Martinez testified about an interview he conducted with Dr. Murray two days after MJ died. Martinez said Murray told him the night before Jackson died he was having trouble sleeping. Murray said he was trying to ween Jackson off of Propofol -- a drug he was giving MJ almost every night for two months.

Murray told Martinez he was giving Jackson a variety of other drugs, beginning sometime after 1AM, to no avail. Jackson then said if he didn't get to sleep he would cancel rehearsal.

Murray said he was feeling "pressure" from MJ to give him something to help him sleep, and Jackson was begging for Propofol. Murray claims he gave him a reduced dose, with Michael's help. As TMZ has reported many times before, Murray said MJ liked to "push in the Propofol himself and that other doctors let him do it."

Murray went to the bathroom for 2 minutes, came back and claims he saw MJ wasn't breathing.Defense: Michael Jackson Drank PropofolUpdated 1/10/11 at 2:53pm

Michael Jackson may have drank himself to death by consuming a juice box laced with Propofol -- at least that's what Conrad Murray's defense team suggested in court today.

Murray's attorney, J. Michael Flanagan, was questioning a Senior Criminalist from the L.A. County Coroner's Office about the 70 grams of fluid found in MJ's stomach at the time of the autopsy ... fluid that tested positive for traces of Propofol.

Flanagan noted the presence of a juice box on MJ's nightstand ... and asked if it had been tested for Propofol ... raising the possibility that MJ was sippin' on the anesthetic shortly before he died.

The criminalist testified he had not tested the juice box.

So what's Flanagan's point? He might be suggesting that MJ was secretly self-administering his Propofol ... which would support Murray's defense theory that MJ accidentally caused his own overdose. Dr. Murray Ordered a Boatload of Propofol for MJUpdated 1/10/11 at 12:05pm

A
pharmacist Dr. Murray used to order Propofol just testified the doctor
ordered box after box of the drug in the two months before Michael
Jackson's death.

Tim Lopez, a pharmacist at Applied Pharmacy Services
in Las Vegas, said beginning on April 6, 2009, Dr. Murray began
ordering large quantities of Propofol. On that date, he ordered 10
single dose vials.

Murray, who had the drugs sent to his
girlfriend's Santa Monica home where he was living, also ordered boxes
of the drug on April 28 -- 4 boxes and each of the boxes had 10 100ml
vials.

Later that month, Murray ordered 20 vials of midazolam and 20 vials of lorazepam.

On May 12, Murray ordered 4 boxes of Propofol, along with 2 trays of midazolam.

On June 10, Murray ordered 4 boxes of Propofol, and 2 20ml Propofol.In
all, Murray ordered 255 vials of Propofol in the two months --
including 130 vials of Propofol in 100ml doses and another 125 vials of
Propofol in 20ml vials. Judge: Murray's iPhone Admissible as EvidenceUpdated 1/10/11 at 10:35am
